Chapter 82: Desperate Anger (2/2)
The tanned beastgirl tsk audibly and took out both halves of her now separated Bo staff and reattached them. Orange aura engulfs her weapon as well and she immediately swung the staff to meet the Dark spear.
BOOM!
Followed by the resounding Boom, her body was sent flying after crashing with the dark spear but one of the retreating cloaked rangers immediately jumped and caught her in the air.
The Dark Spear's momentum was halted momentarily, but that was all it took for the large rock to catch up and smash into the spear. The rock shattered on impact, however, the spare lost its aura and fell lifelessly down. Rekaz caught his spear and continued his chase.
He was getting closer now as the trees were getting sparser and fewer in between, which was making it harder for the rangers to move from branch to branch. He was now questioning the sanity of these rangers. Why were they headed out of the forest, into an open plain where they would be used as target practice.
'They must be dumb.'
Rekaz laughed inwardly, it was quite rare for him to come across people he was smarter than. That must've been why they had missed so many opportunities to attack and just ran away like the cowardly dogs they were.
The cloaked rangers soon jumped down from the trees and ran on foot, they were already only a few feet away from the outskirts of the forest and he could see the bright moonlight that shone up ahead.
Rekaz sneered. This was his chance to strike. Although they would be able to kill these pests quickly once they left the protection of the trees. There was still no reason why he would pass up on a golden opportunity when one has presented itself to him.
He lunged forward at one of the rangers and used his shield to bash him off balance before he could dodge. He raised his spear high in the sky as he was about to impale the off-balance ranger before any of the other rangers could interfere.
However, a ball of fire the size of a basketball was suddenly shot at him from the right. The heat informed Rekaz that he was in danger before the fireball could fully reach him. Trolls were incredibly weak to fire and even a weak spell like this could do some damage if not properly handled.
He halted his attack and turned his shield around to block the fireball. Three more cloaked figures came charging at him with two at the front and one lagging behind, most likely the one that had cast the fireball spell.
⚔️
The two that charged at him wielded Long swords and moved skillfully as they swung their sword with precision and speed. Rekaz growled in frustration. The rangers ahead did not stop and were getting away including the one he had almost just killed while he was stuck dealing with these newcomers.
He raised his shield to block the attack and ordered his tropes after the rangers. *Clang! His shield deflected the swords of the two swordsmen and Rekaz followed it by stomping the ground hard. Coming from a 1,800 pounds troll. The weak forest ground quaked violently and took the cloaked swordsmen off balance.
Rekaz did not miss this opportunity and thrust his spear at the pair. However, the mage behind them did not allow that. ”Lava Arrows,” five arrows made of molten lava flew at him with intensity. Rekaz grunted through his teeth and again he was forced to halt his attack, every single one of these pests was more annoying than the last.
He raised his shield and blocked all five lava Arrows without many problems. This gave the swordsmen time to regain their balance and strike. Rekaz used the shield that was still stained with molten lava and bashed one of the cloaked swordsmen.
However, he must've activated a defensive spell as he only took a few steps back after being hit by his full strength. The second cloaked figure moved behind him and used a skill.
°Valiant Torrent!°
Rekaz couldn't defend it in time as a wave of intense blue energy almost took off his waist, still, his bone armor had negated the strength to some degree and the intense wave of energy didn't penetrate through his bones. The cloak swordsman retreated after her attack had fail which revealed her appearance to Rekaz.
”An ogre, a common ogre...” She was an ogress with twin dark horns protruding on the top of her forehead, she had curly red hair that was messily cut, it was in a good length for movement and didn't look as if she cared much about her hairstyle, Her narrowed eyes stared keenly at him.
Rekaz turned around and finally noticed the shape of the horn on the top of the second swordsman's cloak, he remembered the cloaks of several of those rangers that had gotten away were in similar shapes.
”Rodents and insects...” First, there had been the beastgirl getting in his way and making a fool out of him. Now two maggots that called themselves ogres were doing the same. They won't fight like trolls, always running around and mocking him.
Him, a Gray-War troll that was on the verge of being chief, he was an evolved troll that should not be challenged by a mere ogre, and yet... Rekaz brain went red hot, his skin radiated an intense aura that melted the snow around him. His skin tone took a reddish-black tint and his frame got a lot smaller. Hair grew from his bald head and his limbs became slender but firm.
The ground shattered as he lunged forward with a terrifying speed.
